We have received confirmation that Goddard Hodgkins has received LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. Colby has six LEED certified buildings. Press Release

As part of our commitment to U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Colby has installed new "Low Emissions Vehicle" parking signs on campus. These spaces are reserved for vehicles that meet or exceed emission standards as low-emitting vehicles (LEV) set by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). The LEV parking spaces are provided to encourage the use of high efficiency vehicles, which have a lower impact on the environment. LEVs include hybrid and non-hybrid models.
